Is this the only sat.. ???
Will be be running the normal one ??? (esp rebuy ;D 0
It kinda clashes with the League - hey I can multi table
Also the fastest finger is in the middle of the league - so I could still be in the sat and if I buy in at 9pm and win a seat what happens does it put me in twice or does it stick me in a seperate holding tank, so many questions LOL
Leigh..
WCOAP Stud Championship....what kind of Stud?
5 card / 7 card / Draw?
This may have already been mentioned but in the Betfair lobby there is an APAT Freeroll where the top 20 players receive a £50.00 WCOAP token. Is this right? Same time as sat triple tabling on Sunday ftw sweeeeeeeettt!
Valuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu :)

Can we pick Day1 A or B because how do we know if we are free for the 6 max or Omaha comps?
??????
Why are seats on sale so early??

bit of a pedantic question given that Texas holdem is also a variation of stud (did you mean Razz instead of draw??)

Sigh!
Its a genuine question,the event is 3 months away give or take,with many other events
in between.
The five day festival will feature Heads Up, Stud, Pot Limit Omaha, Six Max, H.O.R.S.E and a three day no limit hold "em World Amateur Championship main event

Is it just me or is this announcement a bit out the blue? I get that its early so that people can buyin and sort everything out but the fact there was no indication of when the buyin would be available (not that I"ve seen anyways) is slightly frustrating.
With a couple days notice and the choice to play in multiple events (in some peoples cases all of them) am I alone in thinking that this is a bit unreasonable?
I unfortunately don"t have a spare 300quid lying around jus ready for a random apat buyin and now looks like I will miss out of the world champ events as seats are sure to be snapped up as this is the pinnacle event of apat season 4.
Nice one :(
HI,

Thanks for the explanation Leigh. However, I still fail to see why the agenda was set that way.... If the dates and times were set right at the start of the season for this roll-out, then why did a league game get put right in the middle of it. Yes there is a break at 9pm on Sunday, and it does not take long, but it still does not make sense to plan so many events on top of an existing event.
I just wanted to say thanks to APAT and Betfair.
The freeroll and added seats on the Sat are great value.
Right so just to get this straight. I play the sat for the main event on Sunday. While I am doing that the main event seats Direct buy in happens and will no doubt be sold out. So I need to buy one so I don"t miss out. So I either end up with 2 entrys to the main event or nothing at all yea? All the while I have to play the team game? Very weird.

LOL apologies Mr M
Tsk, I turn away for the mearest of minutes, and find Leigh has scheduled something like seven events all at the one time. Good man :D
Joking aside, APAT scheduling has been very complex this season and while I think we"d like to have offered a little more space between some events at the weekend, sometimes even we have to just go with the flow.
In my opinion these events will not sell out on day one. There will also be seats available via the seat exchange board between now and August, so it"s not the end of the world if you are unable to buy in this weekend.
As for criticising APAT...well, just stop, unless you really want to get me started? ;)
Mary, if you wish to (crotia)? knit the dates. So be it, it"s your darn needle ;D

LOL if only....hahahaha
Seriously tho, as much as I have waited years to visit the states, gonna miss being at the best event of the season.
The top 20 players will receive $77.50, which coincidentally is enough to enter one of the side events at this seasons WCOAP.
How much will the direct buy-in cost to the £100 main event?
Got to put some money in the account.
The hung parliament has hit the £ for six. Is it todays exchange rate? Yesterdays? Tomorrows?
If I"m lucky enough to get through the sat, will I get money back at a different rate?
My 2 brain cells are hurting - more medication.
Thought I saw direct buy-in at 9pm but now I see 10pm - more medication - help!!

I underdtand that the extra £5.58 goes into the prize pot on the day
I am just looking at a massive influx of russian names into that freeroll.. Gotta be thinking someone has posted the password to another place and we are getting people entering a freeroll because they can... How many of them really gonna plan to go to Nottingham..!!! If that is the case, really spoiling it a little for the genuine APATers..

still says 9pm for day 1a/day 1b buyin
The direct buy ins are alll under "announced" apologies for the quality

So do you know if I was in the tourney lobby at 9.30pm (if start is 10pm) whether the "register" button just appears at 10pm, or do you have to re-open the tourney lobby at 10pm to register?

Enter each game - then split it out using first table icon with the * in the top right you will then have a seperate window for each game. Each open game window will go from announced to registering at the appointed time - then just register .. simplessss

Just testing it with a tourney that opens for registration in 40 mins, to check that I undertsand it.
Your the man, well your the duke, but .... you know what I mean :)
I have merged all the discussion on the freeroll tournament to another thread - here (http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=5957.0)
More than happy to discuss further and answer any questions, just please post those related to the freeroll there instead.
Many thanks

Is the team Championship still on for the 26th and 27th?
Any details of format, selection process etc etc.
But safe to say, teams and selection process will be announced soon
I am planning to Buy-in direct tonight on Betfair, just wondering if there is a Password for registering? Or is it just click, you"re registered?
Hey Guys,
I"m a relatively new member of APAT and have not played in any of the live events yet, but am really looking forward to the WCOAP in Nottingham!

Any idea why Betfair have the tournament as starting in 3w on the lobby rather than three months?
Anyone know what the "APAT WCOAP Main Event Qualifiers" listed in the BetFair lobby are that cost £100??
Ta.
3rd to register for day 1a of the main event. About the best I"ve run for a while.
Hello
I have been (very) fortunate enough to satellite into the WCOAP
Is there any way I can pick my "day 1" or am I just allocated one please?
Many thanks

Question for Leigh or Des...
Why don"t the pro players have to register so early as we do for the Nottingham DTD game?
I say that because I do not see a game room for that game on Betfair.
Carl.

I will be speaking with Betfair on Monday, but all 18 players in the holding tank will get their choice of starting day, so don"t worry about it.

I agree with Rob. ;)
Leigh,
I bought in for the WCOAP ME Day 1a only to qual via the Sat (gunton). Grateful if you would confirm this as I cannot find the ME holding tank on Betfair. Once I am happy that I have a seat via the Sat I will unregister from the direct buy-in for Day 1a. I may change my entry day in light of getting into a number of other games and understand this is possible as you will contact the Sat winners at a later date to decide which day 1 they wish to take up.
Apologies for adding to the faff.
All the best,
Dave

Hi Dave,
The tournament is still in the lobby under "completed". Betfair have told me that they have contacted the qualifiers today to confirm choice of starting day. Feel free to unregister from the Main Event and they will put you in on your chosen day when you reply to them.
Any problems, let me know.
Leigh
Are the players who play in team event will have an option to buy in direct to main event like last year in Luton? Or we should buy now at Betfair?
many thanks for any info.
marcin rejmak
ALL GOOD WITH BETFAIR
GOT IN STUD, OMAHA, SIX MAX AND HORSE NO PROBS.
JUST A SHAME COULDN"TGET INTO HEADS UP GAME.
IF THEY COULDA DONE 64 PLAYERS THEY ONLY NEED 32 TABLES WHICH DTD CAN ACCOMODATE. WITH DEALERS AT EACH END.
HEADS UP FILLED UP FASTER THAN MICHAEL BUBLE CONCERT TICKETS!!! ::)
GOOD JOB ON THE WHOLE APAT
Any idea at this stage of structure for the 6-max and PLO events? Not necessarily full structure, but just level duration and starting stack/1st blind level.
Cheers
can you please confirm HORSE buyin is returned if you make day 2 of the M.E.?
The issue with making the Heads Up 64 runners is that it clashes with the first day of the World Team Event also (64 players). Although DTD could accomodate tables and dealers for this (and they are probably one of the few that could), once the first round of Heads Up is complete, there is a significant reduction in staffing needed until later in the evening.

Double the entries by playing half of the first round games followed by the other half?
Ok, I realise this may be a stupid question, even for a newbie, but I assume the main event is just NLHE?

Never a stupid question, but I"ll guarantee plenty of stupid answers. ;D
You are correct. The main event is a 2 day NLHE. 10k starting stakc with 45 minute levels.

All players that are chosen to play in the team event will be able to buyin for the main event. Those seats have been held back, so no need to buyin using the holding tanks.

Just to put my mind at rest, so we can turn up on the first day and pay cash for both the team and individual events like we did last year at Luton ? Thanks.
Des is finalising team event details at the moment.

Cant wait........
Having some big issues with logging into my Betfair account (apparently talktalk are routing connections thru Australia which is a banned country etc etc). Anyway I cant log in. Are there any Main Event seats left? If so can I reserve one until this issue is sorted?
Any ideas anyone?

been on betfair- checked filters all ticked on..cant find it,,,heeeellllpppp me please..
Sort on Tournament name and scroll down - bear in mind that announced, registering, running etc are separated so you need the A"s for registering
If it"s still not there then you"re definitely filtering it out
Right, I"ve registered for Day 1a is there anything i need to do now or is it sorted and I just show up at DTD on the Saturday for the tourney? Do I have to become a member of DTD? Will I need identification or any proof of who I am etc.?
Thanks. 8)
Are there still plenty of Main Event seats available?
Hey all,
Ive bought into day 1A for the ME, do you get an sort of confirmation nearer the time (i.e you can no longer unregister) of your seat, apart from the betfair lobby or is it "turn up on the day and tick ya name of the list"?

You will see a player briefing on here nearer the time,,this usually confirms start times etc and a player list is also normally posted at around the same time.
If it helps furness, every side event seat is sold out (on Betfair), apart from the Stud
Just a couple of quickies.....
1. Will there be added seats / prizes to the Main Event and Side Events
2. Any ideas what the starting times are, we are a 4 hour drive away and need to get checked into hotels etc (As well as have a Plan B for trains in case the nominated car decides not to work on the day (Again!)) I know we will get a player briefing nearer the time, but an approximate time for now would be good :)
3.Do I need to register for the H.O.R.S.E. online just in case I miss making Day 2 or are APAT going to offer Day 1 Flunkies an alternative tournament on the day.
Thank you for your answers, now that England"s WC takedown has been smashed this has to be the next best sporting event of the year and I cannot wait to meet up with old and new friends

Hi all, can anyone tell me what time day 1a starts? thanks.
August 28th to 30th
WCOAP World Amateur Championship Main Event
3 Day / 2.30pm start / 414 players
10,000 chips / 45 minute clock
£100/$155 entry fee
Day 1A - August 28th
Day 1B - August 29th
Final - August 30th (2.30pm start)
just been on betfair now to check which day i registered for in main event (so long ago cant remember) and i cant find the tourney. Just wondering when the player list and brief will come up thanks.
I think there will be an internet feed of the feature table but it"s not as detailed as you might think. I don"t think you can make out the cards.
Certainly, AFAIK, the "feature" table at DTD does not have hole-cams.
I"m pretty sure it has the capacity for hole-cams.
I"m also pretty sure they won"t be used.
I"m pretty sure it has the capacity for hole-cams.
I"m also pretty sure they won"t be used.
Have you asked, or, are you just guessing?
final table has holecams
i would imagine using the hole-cams for the APAT comps would be a huge source of much hilarity
tbh, from the few final tables i have played at DTD, the glass windows are a pain in the rear as i find it difficult to gather my cards from them.
i would imagine using the hole-cams for the APAT comps would be a huge resource
Agree though - they are a complete pain!!
i have a question about the final day ,
I see that DTD are not normally open on a Mon ,so was wondering ,is there any DTD tourneys planned for the Mon for everyone that i am sure will be railing the main event.
I know we dont fly back till the Tues so would be nice to know we could get a game on the Mon night.
See my confidence there in making the cut for day 2 lol
Any seats left for anything?
i don"t know what the max amount of players for the stud is but there is only 30 takers for that tournament,there are 30 seats for the day 1a of the main event left.
i thought both day one"s were 300 max online buy-in"s divided over both days
i don"t know what the max amount of players for the stud is but there is only 30 takers for that tournament,there are 30 seats for the day 1a of the main event left.
I want to come along now after originally deciding I wasn"t going to go. Is my only hope the seat exchange, or is there a £250 event for pros like myself ;D that has spare capacity?

At the moment the Seat Exchange is your only option.
...
The first day usually ends at level 13....don"t forget there will be over 200 runners each day and perhaps only 30-40 will come back on day 2.
Average stack will be over 100.000 and blinds will be in the 2000/4000 range....still some play. I think there have been times when they have wound back the blinds on day 2 but that"s a judgement call on the day.

With 200 runners there will be 2,000,000 chips in play and with 40 runners left the average stack will be 50,000 so at 2000/4000 probably a bit less play.
Am looking forward to the event though, should be good!

You"re not quite with me...
There aren"t 200 runners in total..there are over 400 (I think nearer 450 in fact..assuming a sell out). Assume 40 (in total) come back for day 2...then it"s a simple calculation to see that there is only 1/10 of the field left so the average would be 10x the starting stack...i.e. 100,000.
Simples
With you, I thought you meant 30-40 left from each day.
where can i buy tickets from the new betfair site i cant find them anywhere ?
oh for the dusk till dawn leg and can i buy for someone else too ?
Am I right in assuming that players in the Team Event will be offered seats? I have mine already but I have some team members flying in from Canada and I dont think they have bought in yet.
Could be a stupid que...but theoretically if you already have a seat but get picked for the team event (Im assuming there are seats left over for these people), could you sell the ME seat on seat exchange to someone who needs one, and then buy-in with team event slot. Just thinking it could free up a seat for seat-exchange people.

Not a stupid question, but there is a much simpler solution.
If you are selected for the team event and already have bought a seat, then we will just have one extra seat when we release the leftovers nearer the event. ;D
final table has holecams, but they haven"t been used for any live feeds for obvious reasons.
if anyone caught tv coverage of English Open for example, you can see that they were used for edited coverage afterwards

They used special cards for the UKIPT event at DTD I believe. They could be "read" by the camera and so the hands could be reported accurately and quickly.
...and yes, those windows are a right pain on the final table ;)

Really? Never heard of this, and would like to be sure there"s no risk before agreeing to use them. How do they work? How can we be sure there"s no-one at the table with "special" glasses?

They used special cards for the UKIPT event at DTD I believe. They could be "read" by the camera and so the hands could be reported accurately and quickly.

I didn"t see that specific circumstance but I"m assuming it was paper thin microchips.
And yes, I agree, the holecam windows are really annoying when you play on the final table at DtD ;D ;D
Hi.
Looking to register for this event.Can you tell me if you can do this on the day or does it need to be done before??
New to this live event stuff!
So has anybody got an idea when the rest of the seats are going on sale and will there be any alternates allowed at all?

Hi, do you know when the ME will appear back on betfair?, as i wish to unregister. :(
Hi, am new to the site but just trying to find out if i can still register for the omaha, ME day1b and horse events online and if i can but am still playing in day 2 of the ME what happens to my HORSE seat.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Of course, if you wear that lot all together...we will point at you and laugh as a n00b, especially if you top it off with a Pokerstars/Full Tilt T-Shirt. ;D

APAT do not allow multi-tabling so if you were to make the ME Day 2, you could not play the HORSE and would have to try to sell it on the Seat Exchange.
I believe that the HORSE will be popular and so you should not have too much trouble but there is always a risk that you won"t get your money back. Your choice.
;D cheers, np there-people point and laugh at me all the time anyway!
looking forward to it, I"ll be the one looking out of plaice........ :D
Just a heads up to everyone. Yesterday Betfair sent emails out to everyone that is registered in the events in Nottingham. Check you emails to be sure you"ve got one.
Hat"s are still ok aren"t they?
Trainers and jeans are OK. Ripped jeans less so.
Shades & Tunes are OK too (IIRC) also hoodies but normally they won"t want you having the hood up in the casino.
Of course, if you wear that lot all together...we will point at you and laugh as a n00b, especially if you top it off with a Pokerstars/Full Tilt T-Shirt. ;D
If there are any problems PM Paulie. He knows every fecking thing....

WCOAP Stud Championship....what kind of Stud?
5 card / 7 card / Draw?
bit of a pedantic question given that Texas holdem is also a variation of stud (did you mean Razz instead of draw??)
Nope...just checking!
Stud poker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stud_poker) has a few variants of which 5 card (played in The Cincinatti Kid if I recall correctly), 7 card hi, 7 card hi-low and Razz are just a few but I don"t think Hold'em is a version of Stud....but I could be wrong....it"s been known...it was back in 1978 but it"s been known. ;D
By "draw", I was referring to "draw poker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draw_poker)" which, I suppose is technically not stud but in the absence of a definitive answer, I thought asking would be sensible.
Whatever, 7 card high is fine with me.
Pot Limit 7CS
Hi, can you still buy into the main event at Nottingham, the last holding tanks are full but are the new ones on Betfair for $155 for the live main event, as it says they start at 21.00 hrs,, just asking as it still says 7 places still open, thankyou
Hello, I am looking forward to seeing everyone at DTD. I missed u all whilst u have been galavanting in Europe without me!

Registered on Betfair- it now says the tournament has been cancelled, but my statement says I"ve been put in another tourney, which I now can"t find in the lobby. What"s going on?
Is the HORSE limit or pot limit?
Hi guys, looking forward to playin

What would you all think of set up something like "Best player of WCOAP 2010" We could easy choice one of the player by vote after all events. There is 5 event to play possbile by one player so i belive there will be someone who cash few times or take a 2 FT. Maybe APAT can find few pounds to made a special trophy for that player? or (and) some of small cash prize like buy in to any of APATs event....

As the Betfair tanks are now closed, I seem to recall seeing something about any "spare" seats being made available on the day at DTD.
I would assume that these will be opened up for purchase ON THE DAY at the venue and when these run out the Alternate list will then take over.
1. Am I right? - Yes you are correct
2. Is there a "start" time for purchase/registration/getting on the list for these spare seats? - Waiting on DTD to confirm
Finally, is there a "cut-off" date / time for seat swaps &/or sales on the Seat Exchange? - The plan is 6pm the evening before each event. Players need to be aware that we will be at DTD for 5 days running the event, live updates, live streaming, etc, so our response times may fluctuate a bit
Sorry for being slightly hard of understanding, but here goes.
If I was looking to play the stud, SH hold"em, Omaha and HORSE events, would I have to ship up to DtD at openig time each day to try for a spare seat or will I be able to ring in advance, find out that there are seats for all 4 then purchase the lot in one go on arrival?
Also, I know I should have registered earlier, booked the time off work months ago, but never got around to doing it.
Just enquired after stud and omaha seats,
Just enquired after stud and omaha seats,
Best to email/PM those selling...it"ll get a quicker response that just posting a request.
I"m just saying.
Next smartass please
As far as buying in at DTD, you will only be able to purchase seats ON THE DAY of the individual event.

It"s seriously good, and seriously adds more value to the upcoming WCOAP Festival
This will be the year to do well across a few events, is the clue that you get
Only became aware of the possibility on Friday.
Great to see the briefing & structures up but I thought Tightend said the HU was 20,000 chips yet the briefing says 2,500 ??
The Stud event chip total also seems incorrect ?
Briefing is correct. 20000 would make for a never-ending day! Sorry for the errors previously
Betfair Poker add even More Value to the WCOAP
And if that wasn"t enough, players will also be able to get a free massage at the tables during Saturday, Sunday and Monday courtesy of Betfair Poker.
Look out for the ladies with the Betfair T-Shirts who will be walking around the tables from 4pm - Midnight each day.
all events via the betfair lobby seem to be cancelled; can anyboby tell me how to qualify?
How easy would it be at this point to change from day 1b (Sunday) to day 1a (Saturday)? Not a problem if it can"t be done but would quite like to if it can without causing you guy"s too much hassel.
